Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Luis Arraez, 29-year-old second baseman for the San Francisco Giants, has made a remarkable return to prime form in 2026. Despite a poor start for the Giants overall, Arraez has been one of their standout performers through the first month and a half of the season. He signed a one-year, $12 million contract and has exceeded expectations both offensively and defensively. Currently hitting .316 with a .763 OPS, leading the team in batting average and strikeout rate (2.5%). He is tied for the MLB lead in Outs Above Average at any position, demonstrating significant defensive improvement from his previous reputation. Recently dealt with a minor left thumb injury from a swing but is expected to be available after the team's off-day. The Giants are hopeful he will be available for upcoming games against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
